Wildwood RV Resort

16 RV Sites

Wildwood RV Resort in East Waterford, Pennsylvania, offers 16 full-hookup RV sites on oversized lots in the wooded hills of Juniata County, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Back-in and pull-through categories join an outdoor pool, spa, beach, craft room, recreation center, and on-site dining. Sixteen sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple, and the oversized lots are what guests notice first — real space between sites rather than the packed rows common at this size. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, a business center, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and spa anchor the summer, with a beach and pond for swimming, fishing, boating, and paddle boats.

The resort sits alongside the scenic Tuscarora Mountains in western Perry County, 15 miles north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and about an hour west of Harrisburg. The diverse wildlife on the property and the quiet, clean character are what bring seasonal regulars and weekend visitors back, and the Tuscarora State Forest and Little Buffalo State Park are close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in central Pennsylvania. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends and October color.

Lakeside Campground

28 RV Sites

Lakeside Campground in Windsor, New York, offers 23 full-hookup RV sites on a lake in the Southern Tier, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Small back-in, standard back-in, and pull-through categories join a beach, boat docks, and kayak rentals. Twenty-three sites run in small 30-amp back-in, 30/50-amp back-in, and 30/50-amp pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. The small back-in category is a useful option for compact trailers that would otherwise pay for space they do not need. Trailer rentals serve guests without a rig. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The lake carries the recreation. A beach gives swimming access, boat docks and kayak rentals put guests on the water, and fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boats all run from the shoreline. An outdoor pool, recreation center, game room, billiards, basketball, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Windsor sits in Broome County in the upper Susquehanna valley along the Pennsylvania border, where the rolling hills and clear glacial lakes of the Catskill foothills provide the backdrop. The campground draws families from the Binghamton area and weekend visitors from the New York metro corridor. Directions from I-86/Route 17: take exit 79 (Windsor) and proceed south onto Route 79 — contrary to many GPS directions, do not turn right onto Piper Hill Road after leaving town.

Seventeen sites run in pull-through standard and standard categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple. Seven tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, firewood, and EV charging handle the practical side — charging is still uncommon at campgrounds this size and worth knowing about if you tow with an electric vehicle. A beach and boat ramp open the water for boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming, with a recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, gaga ball, walking trails, hiking, biking, mountain biking, and a playground filling the rest. Live music and planned activities run through the season, and the mountain sky makes for good stargazing. The campground sits two miles from Prince Gallitzin State Park — Pennsylvania's third most visited — which protects 1,635-acre Glendale Lake and 26 miles of forested shoreline. DelGrosso's Amusement Park, Tytoona Cave, the Ghost Town Trail, Rock Run Recreation Park, and Altoona Curve baseball are all close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the Alleghenies.

Kittatinny K-Camp

58 RV Sites, 13 Cabins, 270 Tent Sites

Kittatinny K-Camp in Barryville, New York, offers 58 full-hookup RV sites, 13 cabins, and 270 tent sites on the Upper Delaware, with 20 and 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. Creekside standard, deluxe, and standard back-in categories join a beach, pond, on-site dining, and a bar in the National Park Service river corridor. Fifty-eight back-in sites run in creekside standard, deluxe, and standard categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20 and 30-amp, sized to 30 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around before booking: the 30-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern coaches, and service tops out at 30-amp. The creekside category sits along a hemlock-shaded trout stream and is the one to request. Two hundred seventy tent sites make this overwhelmingly a tent property — a scale of tent camping almost no other campground matches. Thirteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and portable toilets handle the practical side. A daily resort fee covers the playground, bathhouses, and on-site boating amenities. A beach and pond anchor the recreation, with the Delaware carrying canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, on-site dining, a bar, and productive birding fill the rest. Fourteen miles south of Narrowsburg, the property sits inside the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River corridor — 73 miles of one of the East's last free-flowing major rivers. Summer paddling season is the peak. Reserve well ahead.

Kittatinny River Beach Campground

Kittatinny River Beach Campground in Milford, Pennsylvania, offers full-hookup RV sites, cabins, and tent camping across 18 acres directly on the Delaware River, with wooded, open field, and riverfront configurations. Its parent operation, Kittatinny Canoes, runs the region's most extensive fleet of rafts, kayaks, canoes, and tubes. Full-hookup sites carry water, sewer, and electric in back-in and pull-through configurations with fire pits and picnic tables, alongside cabins and tent sites across more than 160 positions in wooded, field, and riverfront settings. A general store, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. The river operation is what sets this apart. Kittatinny Canoes offers self-guided rafts, kayaks, canoes, and tubes for trips of every length and difficulty on the Upper Delaware, which eliminates the outfitter logistics that usually complicate a river trip — you book the boat and the campsite together. A beach sits on the property, with swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and birding from the water and a pond and playground on the grounds. The campground sits three miles from the borough of Milford at the northern tip of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, with mountains and river frontage on every side.

Riverbend RV Park

135 RV Sites

Riverbend RV Park sits in Blossvale, New York, on the southwestern shore of Oneida Lake—the largest lake entirely within New York State—where the park's waterfront position, boat dock access, and proximity to Sylvan Beach provide the full complement of inland lake resort camping that central New York's largest body of water sustains for seasonal campers and destination visitors. The campground is the East property of a two-park Riverbend operation in the Blossvale area, offering spacious wooded lakeside sites that accommodate any size RV in a setting where the water and the social infrastructure of the Sylvan Beach strip are both within reach. Full hookup sites with 5-way hookup service—electric, water, sewer, cable, and telephone—serve seasonal and short-term campers in a well-maintained site layout. Wooded sites with water views, cabins for enclosed accommodation, a playground, laundry, showers, walking trails, and boat docks provide the foundational amenities. Planned activities through the season and bird and wildlife watching in the lake corridor fill the recreation calendar, and the campground's Oneida Lake frontage provides swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and boating access from the property's own dock infrastructure. Oneida Lake's fishery is one of the most actively managed in New York State—the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation stocks the lake annually with walleye, yellow perch, and bass, supporting a sportfishery that draws serious anglers from across the Mohawk Valley and central New York for the walleye population that has made the lake locally famous. The lake's 79 square miles of open water provide habitat for all of these species across a range of depth and structure conditions, and the early ice-out season each spring triggers the walleye activity that signals the opening of the central New York fishing season. Sylvan Beach, about two miles from the campground, provides the entertainment infrastructure that transforms a camping trip on Oneida Lake into a genuinely social destination: a small amusement park, the Lake House Casino at Sylvan Beach, the Crazy Clam, and the waterfront restaurants and ice cream shops that have made Sylvan Beach central New York's classic summer beach town since the late nineteenth century. The town's combination of carnival atmosphere, lake access, and walking-distance bars and restaurants gives it a nostalgic summer resort character that remains largely unchanged by the development that has transformed other Great Lakes tourism communities. Riverbend RV Park operates through the upstate New York camping season, typically May through October, in a lake climate where Oneida Lake's thermal mass moderates the temperature swings that inland central New York experiences and the long summer days provide maximum time on the water. The fall walleye season in September and October drives some of the most dedicated fishing traffic of the year, and the early spring ice-out period begins the season that seasonal campers return to establish for the summer. Rome and Utica are within easy reach for urban amenity access when needed, and the Erie Canal corridor to the south provides historical cycling and boating context for the broader Mohawk Valley region.
